We break down the massive divide between the 39% Rotten Tomatoes critic score and the 89% audience score, debating whether the complaints about runtime and violence were justified. We analyze Denzel Washington's legendary performance, Dakota Fanning's prime child-actor era, and the dizzying, choppy camera work of early 2000s action cinema. Kiell also shares behind the scenes stories from the sets of Ghosts and Stath Lets Flats, including the brutal reality of filming the lockdown and football episodes. We also get into his brand new Audible survival podcast Guz and Kiell Will Not Survive, his upcoming improv tour for Kool Story Bro, and why he thinks Deja Vu is a cinematic masterpiece despite making zero sense. Plus, Kiell issues a desperate, public plea to locate British actor Clive Owen, and reveals the story of how kissing a girl left him with a blocked nose for ten straight years. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for:Episodes 24 hours earlyAd FreeBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod

We break down why the critics were entirely wrong to give this film a 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, arguing that it is actually a sweet, character-driven comedy elevated by the incredible real-life chemistry of its leads. We dive deep into the bizarre but hilarious supporting cast, including Nicole Kidman playing a mean-spirited sorority bully, Dave Matthews playing a rude, wealthy husband, and an early movie appearance by Keegan-Michael Key. We also examine the genius of Adam Sandler's career, his tendency to cast his friends, and the shocking Rotten Tomatoes scores for classics like Click and Master of Disguise. Away from the movie, Emily talks about the success of her Edinburgh Fringe show, Fixed. She shares the wild true story behind the show: auditioning for the American X Factor at age 15 alongside her closeted best friend, getting ripped apart by the judges, and somehow still making it through to the live shows. We also chat about our favorite eras of Saturday Night Live, the magic of live UCB improv shows in New York, and why Emily absolutely hated the acclaimed Paul Thomas Anderson film Licorice Pizza. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for: Episodes 24 hours earlyAd-Free listeningBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod

We discuss why this broad comedy is vastly underappreciated and how it brilliantly parodies the classic matriarch character originating from the drama Soul Food. We dive into Martin Lawrence's legendary, trailblazing run in the 90s and 2000s, why critics were entirely wrong to slap this film with a 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, and why the suspension of disbelief required for Big Momma's House makes it a much better watch than White Chicks. We also touch upon the brilliance of the first Bad Boys film and how Will Smith originally landed the role over Eddie Murphy.

Actor and comedian Adam Pally joins me to defend Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. We discuss why this 1995 Jim Carrey vehicle is an underappreciated masterpiece of physical comedy, with Adam comparing it to Charlie Chaplin's City Lights. We dive into the film's relentless pacing and perfect 82-minute runtime, the unforgettable animatronic rhino birth scene, and the brilliant supporting performance from Tommy Davidson.

Along the way, we discuss Adam's experience working alongside Jim Carrey on Sonic the Hedgehog, the stylistic differences between Carrey's clown-like comedic performances and Adam Sandler's frustrated everyman characters in the 90s, and why the critics were entirely wrong to give this movie a 25% on Rotten Tomatoes.
